Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Thanksgiving travel can kick hoops blogging to the curb, or at least delay it for several hours-- but a couple of Tuesday's games deserve mention.

Last year Boston College kicked number-one seed Ohio State out of the tournament. Last night BC nearly repeated the upset, coming back from 17 behind as BC's Kindyll Dorsey seven of twelve three-point attempts.

Instead, the rematch went to double overtime; Star Allen gave the Buckeyes the lead with a minute to play, and OSU held on. Eagles center Ress scored 23; OSU center (and likely top WNBA draft pick) Davenport fouled out.

And in Waco, Baylor rallied to beat LSU-- a mild upset, to judge by their rankings (#15 and #9, respectively) but maybe not a surprise: Sylvia Fowles got four fouls in 17 minutes. The Bears' Bernice Mosby scored 21.
